·Hi all,
I'm currently looking at purchasing a watch with a functioning Cal 1337 quartz movement as donor movement for an Omega Sea Master Calypso ref 396.0929. I've had this movement looked at and apparently there is an issue with the electronic module, have been unable to source a NOS replacement, so next best move seems to be having a watchmaker install a functioning one from another watch.

After looking over advice on the forum I feel that the best approach would be to look on Ebay for a watch with a clean looking movement from a reputable seller. However I wanted to confirm the following before diving in:
Will any watch which houses the Cal 1337 movement work, or are there sub variants of this movement? If not, what is be the best way to check if the donor movement will fit before purchasing one?
For example, I've been looking at watches such as the Constellation and Other Seamaster variants, on inspection the movements look the same and the minute adjuster appears to be in the same spot, but I'm sure if these would fit given they're from different watches.
Thanks for your help
